Here’s my two cents after a year running regular routes on the Citaro Hybrid. First thing, the OM 936 diesel is decent - doesn’t struggle on hills, doesn’t sound annoyed either. I was worried after hearing it’s heavier now, but with max passengers it handles like a regular city bus. The extra hybrid components barely add weight, so you still squeeze in the same number of people, which is good for long busy shifts. The ride’s fine, nothing fancy, it’s a city bus, don’t expect miracles. I do wish seats had extra cushioning, but otherwise, it’s comfortable enough. Minor nitpick - bus techs complain they need to brush up on the new hybrid system, so repairs can be a bit slow if something hybrid-specific goes wrong.
